Unless they just haven't done anything in the years since, New Orleans should be fine (even though I feel compelled to remind folks that Katrina hit in Mississippi where it wiped the city of Waveland off the map).

I've lived through many a Gulf Coast hurricane. They'll knock down things that aren't properly built or installed. They can kill people who don't take the right precautions, but for the most part it's just time for a hurricane party.

I'm of mixed heritage myself, but I consider the conquistadores to be villains, not the guy who all told was governor of Hispanola for about 18 months with most stretches being just a few months at a time while he was in port trying to figure out where India was before he set out again searching for it.

I think when 3D input devices mature (Wiimote/Move/Kinect), 3D gaming will take off. Folks who puked during The Blair Witch Project will still have non-3D to play. I for one look forward to this new world!

I plan on buying day one, so not having access to it for an Xmas Steam sale or something isn't a big deal.

I think making games store exclusives is an exceptionally bad idea. It was enough with preorder stuff, but do you really want Steam, Amazon, Gamestop and Walmart to go into bidding wars for who can sell which games? (I'll give you a hint who would win: Walmart has VERY deep pockets.)

And what if Walmart paid for the rights to sell a game that's "violent" but chose to require the vendor to cut said violence? Battlefield 3 with gray blood, that's what.

Even looking at that place's menu, I still can't reconcile how Yankees classify BBQ vs how Southerners do. Like the main menu item is a plate of wet ribs, but are they smoked at all? I didn't notice in my cursory examination. Then they have some pulled pork, but don't tell you any details about it, either. Did they boil it then smoke it? Grill it? For Yankees, there is no difference to these processes as they call them all "bbqing" where for us, eat version or combination creates different flavor and texture to the meat.

I wonder if Blue realizes this is the same piece he posted Friday from Gamasutra...it's not the first time people have gotten him to multipost the same news item just by dressing it up on another site.
